Last week the world stopped to watch as the black disc of Venus inched its way across the face of the sun. But beyond the transits that capture our attention roughly twice per century, Venus has always…
If everyday items were labelled according to the carbon emissions embodied in them, would shoppers change what they buy? And if they did, would it make a difference in the grand scheme of things? Voluntary…
Update October 2012: The manuscript “Evidence of unusual late 20th century warming from an Australasian temperature reconstruction spanning the last millennium” by Joelle Gergis, Raphael Neukom, Ailie…
Australia’s greenhouse gas emissions increased by 0.6% year-on-year in the December quarter, despite a drop in electricity consumption - the largest source of emissions in the national inventory, figures…
US companies that voluntarily release the state of their greenhouse emissions saw their share prices jump significantly in…
A state-of-the-art measurement tool developed by researchers at the Queensland University of Technology will greatly assist…
There are many features of the design of the Gillard government’s controversial and complex carbon legislation that can be questioned. For example, Australia’s unilateral action; the two-phase carbon tax…
Revelations that atmospheric carbon dioxide levels plunged by 40% before and during the formation of the Antarctic ice sheet…
New research has found that air pollution is making cyclones in the Arabian Sea more intense. Prevailing wind patterns normally…
By now most of us have read articles suggesting we “eat less red meat and save the planet”. Some may also have heard statements by the chairman of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, Dr Rajendra…
What if the world left it too long to take action on global climate change? Is there a way we could somehow cool the planet before an environmental crisis occurs? Geo-engineering is a potential course…
The construction of new buildings, power-plants and roads has driven a substantial increase in China’s carbon dioxide emissions…
Computer simulations of global climate have shown that the planet’s oceans can mask the presence of global warming for as…
A touring art installation has used real-time data collected from the canopies of trees to raise awareness about the environmental…
Breathtaking before-and-after pictures showing how fast a Greenland ice sheet has melted in just two years have shocked a climate change expert familiar with the glacier. The melting of glaciers is seen…
Most of the discussion about slowing the impact of climate change has focussed on reducing carbon dioxide emissions. But carbon dioxide isn’t the only greenhouse gas. Methane, halocarbons and nitric oxide…
Reducing greenhouse gas emissions might just save humanity from an alien invasion, according to researchers from Penn State…
Methane has been floating into the atmosphere at a slower rate over the last three decades but two new papers published in the journal Nature put forward very different theories as to why it’s happening…
